Sport Ireland’s Active Cities project is funded by the Dormant Accounts Fund & invests in sport and physical activity initiatives in Ireland’s five largest cities – Dublin, Limerick , Waterford, Cork and Galway, with the aim of creating, maintaining and increasing the numbers of citizens, regardless of age and ability, participating in sport and physical activity in their city.
